They do not. “Whoop” is a loud shout, or at best a misspelling of “whup”, which is “to beat up”. A “can of whoop-ass” is a container of crane butt, which is most likely illegal because those birds are endangered.

This reminds me of the time I got told off for saying “gub” instead of “gib”… on the grounds that “gib” stands for “giblets”, at which point I noted that “gub” stands for “gubbins” and could be used in the same context.

I think it’s been at least a few minutes since he threw it in. Maybe one of the nuns did something stupid, like try to use it against him. We didn’t get to observe the fray in it’s entirety, so he could’ve gotten it back in any number of ways. Perhaps a wizard did it, or the axe fell through a plot hole. who can say?

Oh, I figure Byron had himself plenty of opportunity to pick up a stray axe, I’m not terribly worried about that.

I’m wondering more about Syr’nj having empty hands in one panel, and then holding a sword right away in the next. I mean, I suppose she can just get it out of her pouch, but to have it just *appear* there without showing her drawing it seems a continuity error.

i picked up a cool trick that the dude from boxerhockey uses, he makes the ordinary oval balloons, but he does a slight squash on them to make them a little less digital looking. same clean line, same variable shape+size, but you can really see the difference.

This is one of the few times byron has gone up against a single opponent, and this one he may have no qualms against killing, unlike Best. Not only that, but this guy is heavily armored. Which means its gonna take power to get through that armor. Its likely he sees this as a time where using his berserker rage as an asset.

Well, Syr tried. I really think him elbowing our nice woodelf in THE FACE is what got him a little hot under the collar. I mean, everyone loves a nice person and Syr is nice. Also, I would so pull a bandit on that one. All my characters are always like “A god, what? dueces.” totally reasonable response.

Frigg looks caught somewhere between “F— you” and “WTF” and it has a pinch of “I’m too tired for this.” Y’all can come up with a profane way for her to say that, I have no idea.

Heh. I know another guy just like that one. Yaknow, the big one in armor. He used to scream “I’m the fiery destroyer of worlds!” and “I walk again, a God among mere mortals!” all the time…
Ahhh, I miss the chap.
